    • Trivia
      Has similar elements to A Quiet Place (2018) which stars Stanley Tucci's sister-in-law Emily Blunt. However, Tim Lebbon's book, from which this film is based, was published in August 2015 and the film began shooting in September 2017, both before A Quiet Place (2018) was released.
    • Goofs
      Ally says that she "lives in silence, they all do" because she's deaf and they can all speak in sign language, inferring that they have an advantage, but this would not make them completely silent and invisible to the creatures, if anything it would be the opposite because she could make noise, e.g opening a door, and she wouldn't hear it.

    Naive and frustrating ending

    I enjoyed the acting (especially Stanley Tucci and Miranda Otto but the whole cast is worthy of interest), the photography, the general atmosphere, but I moderately appreciated the last third of the movie. Although the post-apocalyptic atmosphere consecutively to the invasion of huge bats as blind as voracious is rather successful, the atmosphere changes after the meeting with the reverend. This is definitely a key milestone: the movie becomes then surrealistic and almost laughable. This was naively developed: the group formed around the reverend depreciates the film by polluting it.

    My rating before the meeting with the reverend: 6 of 10. And after: 4/5 of 10. Frustrating!
